Lil Wayne To Drop “Carter V” Album

Lil Wayne’s long-anticipated The Carter V is set to be released yesterday, 21 September. The official Young Money Twitter shared the cover art for the album earlier this week. The cover art shows a red-filtered photo of a hand with five fingers up, and the word “THE WORLD” written upside down across the palm.

Over the past four years, due to legal and financial battles between Wayne and longtime mentor and Cash Money label head Birdman, the release of the album has been delayed several times. The two reportedly settled their dispute in court earlier this season and that released the rapper from his Cash Money deal.

The official release date for Tha Carter V has been announced as today.
